We want eselect-profile to support both the funtoo style profiles and the gentoo style profiles at the same time First thought, says if /etc/{,portage}/make.profile is a symlink, only show gentoo style profiles; this will hide the changes from unsuspecting users so they don't accidently set an experimental profile as gentoo tries to catch up.

+

The <code>LINGUAS</code> variable should use spaces between each localization name.

−

If /etc/{,portage}/make.profile is not a symlink, then show a list of old style profiles and new style profiles.

+

== Read Your Language ==

−

This may require funtoo to remove profiles.desc and profiles.eselect.desc from gentoo before replicating.

+

=== Catalyst Support ===

+

A newly installed Funtoo Linux does not able to read all the languages. You want to read the stuff, say, in Mozilla Firefox. You need to install fonts - A good sign that you have not installed the proper fonts is that the following characters appear as boxes with numbers inside: 日本語フォント

−

* seems trivial, support catalyst setting new style profiles.

+

Check if you have your language installed (Chinese) by using the <tt>fc-list</tt> command from the <tt>media-libs/fontconfig</tt> ebuild:

−

* input requested from funtoo team on suggested syntax

+

−

=== Build Profiles in Gentoo ===

+

<console>

+

# ##i##fc-list :lang=zh

+

</console>

−

Build prototype profiles in gentoo for all possible x86/amd64 varients.

+

If you are lucky, the right font will be installed, and your apps will also be able to use Chinese as the default language. But in case you not have the right font installed in this way, you need to install them manually.

* mgorny has some good ideas here for multilib stuff

+

−

* blueness has some good ideas for hardened and alternative libc implementations

=== Piggy-Back System for Funtoo ===

+

For Japanese:

−

Funtoo currently imports various settings from the existing Gentoo system profiles. The new Gentoo profile system should be designed to facilitate this "piggy-backing" to allow for maximum collaboration between Gentoo and Funtoo Linux.

+

<console>

+

# ##i##emerge media-fonts/kochi-substitute

+

</console>

+

+

For Chinese:

+

<console>

+

# ##i##emerge media-fonts/arphicfonts

+

</console>

+

+

For Korean:

+

+

<console>

+

# ##i##emerge media-fonts/baekmuk-fonts

+

</console>

+

== Keymap ==

+

+

Funtoo Linux defaults to a US English keyboard. If you are using another type of keyboard, edit <tt>/etc/conf.d/keymaps</tt> and set keymap to your keyboard model. For example, cf for French Canadian keyboard, fr for French Azerty.

The LINGUAS variable should use spaces between each localization name.
